Scented with dried strawberries, rose petals and warm spice over a subtle smoky, earthy frame, the RAEN Royal St. Robert Cuvée Pinot Noir 2022 feels both deeply intense and amazingly weightless. On the palate, vibrant red and dark fruits mingle with hints of tea, citrus zest and gentle spice, carried by ultra-fine tannins that give structure without heaviness and lead to a long, graceful, quietly powerful finish. This vintage is especially vivid and energetic, with a clarity of flavor that makes it compelling now but promises even more nuance with time in bottle.
